A cat-shaped nightlight, specially customized to resemble a cream puff, is lit on the bedside table.
It was emitting a pale yellow light at the moment.
It's not very bright, but it's bright enough for a person to see the layout of the room in the dark without bumping into something or falling over.
At this moment, Wei Ruolan was being carried out by Lin Xiao.
Her arms were wrapped around Lin Xiao's neck.
Her head rested lightly on Lin Xiao's broad chest. From this angle, she could see Lin Xiao's smooth jawline and elegant Adam's apple.
She could smell the clean, crisp scent of cedar on Lin Xiao's face; it smelled wonderful.
Last Friday, she fell asleep on the massage table in the gym, and Lin Xiao carried her back to bed.
Although she couldn't remember clearly, her sister's sour description afterwards still gave her a vague recollection of the scene, and she was fascinated by that feeling of security.
Unexpectedly, she was now fully aware of it.
The man in front of her held her arm with great strength, as if lifting her was as easy as holding a cloud.
His chest was warm and firm, which surprisingly made her, who was always independent, feel a slight urge to lean against him.
But she dared not move.
She didn't even dare to glance around, afraid of betraying her subtle thoughts.
Perhaps deep down, she was also secretly worried that her thoughts might have crossed a line.
Despite knowing that her fiancé Feng Qi would never return, and that Feng Qi was not a good match for her and that his marriage to her was merely a business alliance.
She never felt true love from him.
It didn't take long before Lin Xiao had carried Wei Ruolan out of Xi Xi's room.
He didn't think much of it when he hugged her.
Even when carrying it, we're just rushing on our way.
Only when he put her down did he realize that his arms were empty.
His fingers unconsciously rubbed together lightly.
But he's a professional simp.
He didn't allow himself to overthink it and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Then she stepped aside and gently closed the door to XiXi's room.
The nanny, Chen Moli, has a room next door. Her room and Xi Xi's room are connected by a door, which makes it convenient for her to take care of Xi Xi at night.
Wei Ruolan stood still and smoothed the hair at her temples.
"It's alright. I... I should be thanking you."
Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome, President Lan."
It was still early, so Wei Ruolan gave Lin Xiao a wink, and the two of them tacitly headed upstairs.
The two sat down on the sofa in the living room.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Wei Ruolan touched her long, swan-like neck wearily and said in a low voice, "You must be very curious as to why I went back on my word, right?"
Lin Xiao nodded frantically in his mind. That's right, didn't he say he wouldn't book him anymore? Why did he go back on his word?
He remained calm on the surface, saying, "I am a little curious."
"However, if it's inconvenient for President Lan to say, I won't press her. After all, this isn't a big deal."
"I am honored to return to the Wei residence and serve President Lan and Xixi."
Wei Ruolan looked at Lin Xiao with her deep eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I have seen the dashcam footage from last Friday evening."
Lin Xiao's heart tightened, and his brows furrowed slightly.
However, he did not do anything inappropriate in the car last Friday.
His brow relaxed, and he joked, "Looks like President Lan knows I'm innocent?"
Wei Ruolan nodded, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Actually, I should have thought of it sooner. My sister... never mind, let's not talk about it."
Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Okay. I don't necessarily have to hear it."
Wei Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze towards Lin Xiao now filled with anticipation and shyness.
She seemed to have something on her mind that she was finding difficult to express.
Last Friday, Lin Xiao gave her an upper body massage, which made her feel very comfortable. That night, she slept a very deep and restorative sleep.
Since taking over the business of the Weiss Group, she hasn't had a good night's sleep for several years.
Therefore, she called two top-notch female masseuses to her home for massages.
The two worked together diligently, giving her a thorough massage from head to toe.
However, she miraculously developed insomnia.
I stayed up until one or two in the morning before finally falling asleep, feeling restless.
So the next day, she reduced the number of technicians to one, but the results were still unsatisfactory.
At this moment, Wei Ruolan, with dark circles under her eyes, looked at Lin Xiao with a mournful expression, hoping that he would take the initiative to see her problem and help her solve it.
However, Lin Xiao, a straight man, did not immediately recognize that it was a dark circle under his eye.
He tentatively said, "President Lan, your eye sockets are already deep and charming enough, there's no need to wear smoky makeup."
Wei Ruolan was taken aback. Smoky eye makeup?
"I didn't wear eye makeup?"
"These are dark circles under my eyes, thank you."
Lin Xiao scoffed lightly and smiled, "Sorry, President Lan."
"Your eyes look quite deep-set, I can't tell if you're wearing eye makeup or just have dark circles..."
Wei Ruolan rolled her eyes at Lin Xiao, but it was clear that she wasn't really angry.
Lin Xiao thought for a moment, "President Lan, would you like me to give you a massage to relax your body?"
Wei Ruolan nodded proudly, stood up and said, "I'm going to change my clothes. You wait for me at the gym."
A moment later, inside the gym.
Lin Xiao has already done five sets of pull-ups, eight reps per set.
The door was pushed open.
Lin Xiaotao's eyes lit up.
Wei Ruolan changed into a pinkish-purple round-neck casual tracksuit with a cat embroidered on the chest, clearly designed based on a cream puff.
She looks very youthful in this outfit.
Her thick, black, wavy hair was casually held in place with a sandalwood hairpin.
The hairpin is also shaped like a big fat cat named Puff.
very beautiful.
She is as beautiful as a fairy.
Lin Xiao suppressed the look of amazement in his eyes and jumped off the pull-up bar.
"President Lan, you look very well dressed," Lin Xiao complimented.
Wei Ruolan pursed her lips and smoothed her disheveled hair. "Thank you."
"Lie down, Mr. Lan."
Wei Ruolan nodded, took off her shoes, and consciously lay down on top of him.
It's very comfortable.
It still feels familiar.
Wei Ruolan was in a great mood, so she suggested, "Lin Xiao, it'll be too late when we finish, so why don't you stay in the guest room on the second floor?"
Lin Xiao's kneading motions faltered slightly.
Stay overnight?
It's not that it's impossible.
Chu Yingying's online chat service requires a private space, and this place is perfect for it.
So he continued massaging, saying, "Hmm. Thank you, Mr. Lan."
Wei Ruolan hummed in agreement, her voice languid and drawn-out.
"Ask Jasmine if you need anything."
"Um."
After his workday ended, Lin Xiao carried Wei Ruolan back to the bedroom, covered her with a blanket, and gently closed the door.
However, as soon as Lin Xiao closed the door, Wei Ruolan opened her eyes.
